Cat6 stranded LSZH bulk ethernet cable is well suitable for Gigabit Ethernet, ATM and Broadband Video. This 26AWG Cat6 stranded cable is great for short cable runs and creating custom length patch cords. For extra protection from outside interference and EMI this cable is shielded. It has an overall metal foil which wraps around all 4 twisted pairs. This cable is built with a drain wire for grounding. This Cat6 shielded stranded 26AWG cable is pure copper for optimal signal performance. UL certified for industry leading safety and performance compliance. 26AWG Cat6 cable is thinner than your standard 24AWG cable which gives you more space in your installations and greater flexibility with the cable.

Â
Q: What is a 26 AWG Cat6 cable used for?
A: This cable is designed for building custom patch cables that connect switches, patch panels, routers, servers, computers, and other networking equipment. It is ideal for shorter Ethernet connections where flexibility is important.
Q: Why should I choose 26 AWG instead of standard 24 AWG cable?
A: The slimmer 26 AWG design reduces cable diameter, allowing more cables to fit inside racks and cable managers while improving airflow and making cable routing easier.
Q: What does F/UTP mean?
A: F/UTP, also known as FTP, stands for Foiled Unshielded Twisted Pair. The cable uses an overall foil shield surrounding all four twisted pairs to help reduce electromagnetic interference while leaving the individual pairs unshielded.
Q: What is the drain wire used for?
A: The drain wire provides a convenient grounding path for the foil shield, helping the shielding perform effectively by directing unwanted electrical noise away from the cable.
Q: What does LSZH mean?
A: LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen. If exposed to fire, the jacket produces very low smoke and does not release halogen gases, making it a preferred choice for installations where occupant safety and equipment protection are important.
Q: Why are stranded conductors used instead of solid conductors?
A: Stranded conductors provide greater flexibility than solid conductors, making the cable easier to bend and route through racks, cabinets, and other tight installation spaces.
Q: Can this cable support 10 Gigabit Ethernet?
A: Yes. This Cat6 cable can support 10 Gigabit Ethernet over shorter distances when properly installed with compatible networking equipment.
Q: Can this cable be used with PoE devices?
A: Yes. This cable is suitable for PoE, PoE+, and PoE++ applications when installed within the recommended channel length and used with compatible networking equipment.
Q: What applications is this cable commonly used for?
A: This cable is commonly used for custom patch cables, network switches, patch panels, servers, routers, telecommunications rooms, AV equipment, equipment racks, and other high density networking installations where shielding is beneficial.
Q: What connectors should I use with this cable?
A: This cable should be terminated using shielded RJ45 connectors designed for 26 AWG stranded Ethernet cable. Keystone jacks are intended for solid conductor cable and are not recommended for this application.
Q: Does the cable include sequential footage markings?
A: Yes. The cable jacket includes sequential footage markings, making it easy to measure and cut custom length patch cables while tracking the remaining cable on the spool.
Q: Is this cable suitable for professional installations?
A: Yes. This Cat6 26 AWG shielded LSZH cable is trusted by network installers, AV integrators, IT professionals, and system integrators for creating custom patch cables in commercial and enterprise networking environments.
